Jeremiah 51:44-49 CEV I will punish Marduk, the god of Babylon, and make him vomit up everything he gobbled down. Then nations will no longer bring him gifts, and Babylon's walls will crumble. (45) Get out of Babylon (the mother of all false religion), my people, and run for your lives, before I strike the city in my anger! (46) Don't be afraid or lose hope, though year after year there are rumors of leaders fighting for control in the city of Babylon. (47) The time will come when I will punish Babylon's false gods. Everyone there will die, and the whole nation will be disgraced, (48) when an army attacks from the north and brings destruction. Then the earth and the heavens and everything in them will celebrate. (49) Babylon must be overthrown, because it slaughtered the people of Israel (and modern day Christians - Gal 3:26-29) and of many other nations.
Jeremiah 51:44-49 ESV And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed. The nations shall no longer flow to him; the wall of Babylon has fallen. (45) "Go out of the midst of her (the mother of all false religion), my people! Let every one save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD ( יהוה ) ! (46) Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler. (47) "Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the images of Babylon; her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. (48) Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for joy over Babylon, for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north, declares the LORD ( יהוה ). (49) Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel (and modern day Christians - Gal 3:26-29), just as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.
Jeremiah 51:44-49 GNB I will punish Bel, the god of Babylonia, and make him give up his stolen goods; the nations will not worship him any more. "Babylon's walls have fallen. (45) People of Israel, run away from there (the mother of all false religion)! Run for your life from my fierce anger. (46) Do not lose courage or be afraid because of the rumors you hear. Every year a different rumor spreads---rumors of violence in the land and of one king fighting another. (47) And so the time is coming when I will deal with Babylonia's idols. The whole country will be put to shame, and all its people will be killed. (48) Everything on earth and in the sky will shout for joy when Babylonia falls to the people who come from the north to destroy it. (49) Babylonia caused the death of people all over the world, and now Babylonia will fall because it caused the death of so many Israelites (and modern day Christians - Gal 3:26-29). I, the LORD ( יהוה ), have spoken."
Jeremiah 51:44-49 NWT 44 And I will turn my attention upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he has swallowed. And to him nations will stream no more. Also, the wall itself of Babylon must fall. 45 “Get out of the midst of her (the mother of all false religion), O my people, and provide each one his soul with escape from the burning anger of Jehovah ( יהוה ) . 46 Or otherwise YOUR heart will be timid, and YOU will become afraid because of the report that is to be heard in the land. And in one year the report will actually come, and after it in another year there will be the report and violence in the earth and ruler against ruler. 47 Therefore, look! there are days coming, and I will turn my attention upon the graven images of Babylon; and all her own land will become ashamed, and all her own slain ones will fall in the midst of her. 48 “And over Babylon the heavens and the earth and all that is in them will certainly cry out joyfully, for out of the north there will come to her the despoilers,” is the utterance of Jehovah ( יהוה ). 49 “Not only was Babylon the cause for the slain ones of Israel (and modern day Christians - Gal 3:26-29) to fall but also at Babylon the slain ones of all the earth have fallen.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
